| [00:19.000] |
They say there's an underground river, |
| [00:23.000] |
That none of us can see, |
| [00:26.000] |
And it flows through winding tunnels, |
| [00:30.000] |
On its way to a tide-less sea. |
| [00:34.000] |
And across that sea is an island, |
| [00:37.000] |
A paradise we are told, |
| [00:42.000] |
Where the toils of life are forgotten, |
| [00:46.000] |
And they call it the Island of Souls. |
| [00:49.000] |
For only a soul can go there, |
| [00:52.000] |
A soul that's been set free, |
| [00:56.000] |
From the confines of a working life, |
| [00:59.000] |
To find eternity. |
| [01:03.000] |
Your old man had a cage for his pigeons, |
| [01:07.000] |
But that's really where he kept his soul, |
| [01:10.000] |
And when he watched them fly he would see himself, |
| [01:14.000] |
Least that's how it was told. |
| [01:18.000] |
But his soul was still trapped in the cage son, |
| [01:22.000] |
While the birds they soared to the sky, |
| [01:28.000] |
But he couldn't find his own way out, |
| [01:33.000] |
Least not 'til the day he died. |
| [01:35.000] |
Oh, a man builds a cage with the tools he is given, |
| [01:40.000] |
His casket is sealed with a riveter's gun, |
| [01:42.000] |
This solitary madness is where he is driven, |
| [01:46.000] |
It was him who was trapped in the soul cage son, |
| [01:52.000] |
It was him that was trapped in the soul cage. |
| [02:00.000] |
I know that he loved you, but he hadn't the words, |
| [02:05.000] |
He'd be easier speaking the language of birds, |
| [02:08.000] |
For to speak of emotion, it just wasn't done, |
| [02:13.000] |
It was him who was trapped in the soul cage son, |
| [02:17.000] |
It was him that was trapped in the soul cage. |
| [02:23.000] |
A man builds a cage with the tools he is given, |
| [02:27.000] |
His casket is sealed with a riveter's gun, |
| [02:30.000] |
The solitary madness is where he is driven, |
| [02:35.000] |
It was him who was trapped in the soul cage son, |
| [02:40.000] |
It was him that was trapped in the soul cage. |
